For years we begging for the publishers provide their metadata to supply the website librairiedialogues.fr .
In truth, in vain, mostly.
with the notable exception of Editis of PUF and equipped by the publishers giantchair.com , which must be added Thierry Magnier and very imperfectly school recreation, no place editor cares to take seriously our demands.
When book publishers in 1981, wanted to preserve a network of booksellers and other retailers, rich, dense and varied, the major record companies were betting that otherwise would be more profitable to remove the network of stores. Disastrous decision. For the record stores. For the majors.
Today, having, for many, still not taken the upheaval that will cause the digital revolution in publishing and bookselling, publishers are being inadvertently or inertia, to sacrifice their network of resellers on the Internet booksellers. Alas.
At the time, very modest and marginal, we turn to the other side of the mirror, showing us our publishers we act according to our words. A
available to all websites of booksellers, inclusive, and including the big bad wolf of the Atlantic, available to all bloggers, available to all librarians, available to all lovers of books, available, all all existing metadata on the website of the newly created home-edition dialogues.fr .
Clear explanations are available on the site, describing the various formats and recovery protocols . We have focused on the use of standards (ONIX mainly), so that the exploitation of such data does not require any specific development.
Bloavez mad.
